I know I'll probably regret asking this but:
Just how accurate do you find a typical USGI M1 carbine to be? I understand that this is not a match-grade rifle, and it has combat accuracy as its goal. But I was thinking today at the range, about just how good it could be.
I set up two targets at 100 yards. They were NRA 50 yard pistol targets. I took one shot at each with my Inland '43, M2 stock, late sights, bayo lug barrel band. Sitting, elbows on the table, no rest for the rifle, I took careful aim and I ten-ringed both targets, once shot at each. Not perfectly centered in the ten but still, ten-ringed both. I then took one shot a second and got all within the 7 or better on one of the targets. I am not a world-class shot obviously but this little rifle certainly is capable of some fairly good accuracy
How accurate do you guys find your USGI M1 carbines to be, and at what range?
